server!

All right, yes, i know. those of you who have paid attention will know that we have tried
servers before, and haven't done too well with them. but my friend wants to purchase a
server online, and said that if i set it up, then he will pay, so I figured id let you all
in on it.
we haven't gotten anything set up yet, and since I'm the one setting it up, anyone know
any good websites that host servers?

You can host it yourself, if you have the grit for it. Having to pay for a server is a
scam.
Bukkit servers are good because of server-side plugins so you can use WorldEdit, NPCs, et
cetera.
There are tutorials on Youtube for making servers.

i was going to do this previously if you remember
but my computer is a pretty high end system, its a power muncher
and the up/down times would be inconsistent
im trying to find one i found a while ago, it was 3 bucks a month
